<p>Each optimizer checks its gradients for infs/NaNs and makes an independent decision
whether or not to skip the step.  This may result in one optimizer skipping the step
while the other one does not.  Since step skipping occurs rarely (every several hundred iterations)
this should not impede convergence.  If you observe poor convergence after adding gradient scaling
to a multiple-optimizer model, please report a bug.</p>
